Roosevelt Elementary School

The Roosevelt School community has as its mission, the establishment of a comprehensive foundation which enables all students to achieve their maximum potential as responsible individuals and lifelong learners.

The River Edge School District expects to achieve its educational objectives by providing:

High expectations of attainable, individual achievement where students with diverse learning styles are confident in their ability to learn from their mistakes and experience success

A well-equipped physical environment in which teachers and students are provided with the materials necessary to facilitate learning

A school culture that supports and encourages staff pursuit of personal and professional growth. One which encourages a harmonious and collegial atmosphere permitting teachers to reflect upon the effectiveness of their efforts

Recognition that we both mirror and influence the community around us as we forge a cooperative link between school, home and neighborhood

Realization of the necessity for respect for cultural diversity

Acceptance of the obligation to support moral and civic education with the understanding that every child is a potential citizen of a global society

To this end we emphasize democratic ideals, courtesy and compassion and we expect each child to learn to take responsibility for his/her actions

Agreement by all members of the school community that quality education is a lifelong process involving physical, mental, emotional and social development
